I really don’t remember just what the Verdant version of this tasted like. This is tasty. I seem to be getting a note I would describe as burnt sugar. The chocolate is there too. This is quite good. I would definitely buy more when I run out of this, which even though I didn’t buy a lot will probably take a while at the rate I go through individual teas.
I steeped this one time in a 16oz Teavana Glass Perfect Tea Maker/Gravity Steeper with 3 tsp leaf and 200 degree water for 3 min.
